That $50 ticket to a freelance seminar in Chicago paid off big
I went back and forth on spending $50 for an afternoon freelance pricing workshop in Chicago. On one hand, I figured I already know my rates. On the other hand, the speaker had a reputation for calling out lowball clients. It ended up saving me from accepting a $200 design job that would have taken 8 hours. Has anyone else gotten serious value from a cheap local event or is it usually a waste of time?

Went to a $20 meetup in Milwaukee and got a tip that landed me a $600 client the next day.

Hell yeah, that's a steal for $50. I went to a half-day social media workshop in Detroit last year that was $40 and it completely changed how I schedule posts. The speaker showed us a simple trick for batch writing captions that saves me like 2 hours a week. I've been to way more expensive events that didn't give me half that value.
